There are only two dedicated science payloads on STARDUST: the Aerogel Dust
Collectors and the Cometary and Interstellar Dust Analyzer. All other science
data is obtained from engineering functions that are required for the operation
of the spacecraft. These engineering instruments are the Navigation Camera and
the Whipple shield flux monitors. Dynamic science is obtained without special
hardware. These instruments are called out on the illustrations below.
